I don't care that it was a marketing campaign, Bowie is Bowie and this commersh is GREAT! And what a novel way that was to expose new generations to the 24-karat enchantment that is The Gentleman.
And in a moment of the stupendous 1980s eating its own tail, this "commercial" got heavy rotation on MTV as a "video," even appearing in the weekly Top 20 countdown. Only in that decade could that happen
aw man that takes me back, someone on dailymotion had a set with this commercial and a levi's 501 jeans and an old taco bell 7 layer burrito for 99 cents. it was posted for the longest time then they took it off :-(
I love these commercials. Today's commercials got nothing on the spunk, soul and groove of 80's commercials. Cheesy as hell, yes. But I freaking love cheese.
I remember watching this as a kid in 1988. I thought I would never, ever, see a cooler thing for the rest of my life.
David Bowie creates a machine that produces cloned entertainers, in preparation for his role in "The Prestige".

He makes for a cute mad scientist, and believe me, those are not words I ever expected to put together like that!
Ha, I love how the explosion gave Bowie his 80's hair!
Dot matrix printers, green screen o' doom, Bowie doing inexplicable and vaguely disturbing things. Yup, it's the 80's.

Esta propaganda no me la olvido más, me volvía re loco cuando era chico! Gracias por subir esto!
I remember when this was out. Tina also had a solo Pepsi commercial.
I wish when I was working Bowie would pop outta my vending machine.
